I had a very low key but nice weekend. After continuing education all day on Friday, I crashed Friday night and didn’t do much of anything. I had hopes of getting up and practicing at Om Yoga on Saturday morning before I taught my hot vinyasa class but then I slept until 8:30 so that didn’t happen!

After teaching the beautiful Om yogis I headed to Metro Fitness Club to train two clients. As a rule, I do not train on the weekends but since I had to cancel on them Friday I made an exception.

I spent the rest of the day treating myself to things like cupcakes, pedicures and friend times so I made it a relaxing afternoon after working!

So did Sullie…I did some yard work and she supervised like a champ.

One of my yoga students who just graduated from teacher training invited a group of girls over on Saturday night for a homemade vegetarian dinner. She is from Mysore, India but has lived here in the states for years. We all jumped at the offer for dinner in her home.

The food was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, it was the most flavorful and best meal that I’ve had in a long time. She spoiled us with a spread of delicious spicy and cooling dishes with homemade dosa (the crepe/flatbread thing you see above). I wish you could grab a fork and dive into this picture because it was that amazing.

I am so happy and grateful for all the connections yoga has brought into my life. I love my network of friends! 🙂

I taught my hot class at Y2 on Sunday morning and then came home to hibernate and relax. It was dark and rainy so I made a batch of blueberry banana muffins that turned out wonderfully (recipe to come).

And then I spent hours on the couch with my laptop, coffee, candles and Sullie. It was pretty perfect.

Then I had this great idea to take my favorite teacher’s hot yoga class at 4 p.m. and then go see The Fault In Our Stars. That pretty much resulted in a copious amount of tears. Yoga + a sad movie is not a good combo! I read the book so I thought I was prepared but still left the theater weeping.

Indian Food…love it or leave it? 

 

The Fault In Our Stars…read it or seen it? Thoughts?
